World AIDS Day Events

11/14/2003

The Ithaca College AIDS Working Group would like to encourage all members of the Ithaca community to take note and or attend the following events held in honor of World AIDS Day, Monday, December 1.

This day is about raising awareness, education, and fighting prejudice. World AIDS Day is also important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

Meditation -- Muller Chapel
You are invited to the sanctuary in the chapel for quiet meditation and reflection on World AIDS Day. Red ribbons will be available in the chapel.

A Closer Walk

--Textor 102, 7:00 p.m., free admission
A film about AIDS in the world. A film about the way the world is. Not just a movie; a movement. A Closer Walk is the first film to depict humankind's confrontation with the global AIDS epidemic. The documentary was conceived by Robert Bilheimer and the late Jonathan Mann and it was envisioned as a bridge between the international AIDS community and the general public. It is the first global film to describe not only the breadth and destructive power of the pandemic, but its underlying social causes as well.
Faculty are encouraged to post an announcement of this film in their classroom and to encourage students to attend.
